Everyone enjoyed showing off their costumes for World Book Day.
We became Authors for the day and made up our own stories!
Remember to read books at home every day. Bedtime is the perfect time to listen to a story and wind down after a long day.
You can borrow books from nursery as often as you want.

Red Class are a curious crew and we wondered what dragon eggs might taste like. So, we wrote a letter to the dragon to ask for some eggs. We sent a class letter, full of flattery like the Paper Bag Princess uses, and a decorated envelope each.
The next day, Mrs. Davidson delivered an urgent parcel to us after lunch, inside was a letter from the dragon and each of our envelopes had a dragon’s egg inside!
We all wrote back to the dragon to thank him for the eggs and to let him know what we thought of them. Thank you dragon!

The last two days with the ducklings has been so much fun!
1G have continued to write in their duckling diaries to record all about ducklings and their time here at Holbeach!
The children have all had an opportunity to hold one of the ducklings, they were so gentle and careful!
1G have watched the ducklings splashing, swimming and diving!
They have had the ducklings out and walking around the classroom!
The children are very sad that today is our last day with the ducklings 🙁
This week it is World Book Day on Friday 3rd March 2023 so.. year 1 home learning this week is all about reading!
